Comforts for Fighters. STORIES OF THE GREAT PUSH. Appended are extracts from letters re- ceived by R.S.M. Fear from Aberystwyth men on active service abroad. Pte. C. J. Hopkins writes that he has arrived in hospital safe and is g< tting better. Lance-corporal G. Ivor Davies wntes— I really do not know how to thank you and my Aber. friends for the number of parcels I have received. I am sure that every Aber. chum appreciates it. We can only repay you by doing our best out here. Pte. J. H. Jones writes-These trenches are dull at the best of times; but such little, or I should say great. favours as the Aber. folks do for us go a long way to cheer the mess in spite of Parapet Joe, as a particular machine gunner over the way" is nicknamed, rattling away in search of a careless one, which I may add he never finds. I'm pleased to say that I came through the attack on July 1st un- hurt., thank God! Driver F. H. Jones writes-Honestly you practically cured my life for I had not had a smoke for a whole day. I was look- ing at that verse you sent and I won- dered how long it would be before I should meet you and all at Aber. Driver W. J. Rowlands writes-I was so pleased to hear that friends are still thinking of the brave lads out here. We have been shifting about a lot lately; but I never met any Aber friends. I kept my eye on every one who passed to see if I knew any of them; but I saw no one I knew. I saw some German prisoners for the first time and they looked a rough lot. Sergt. H. Cooke writes-I sat down in the firing line and read your card three times, and thought of dear old Aber. I forgot all about old Bill in front of me until he strafed a coal box near me and made me move. You have heard about the battle we fought and WON. It was great. We did what others failed to do and took the wood; but it was awful for about eight hours until we got them on the run and then they ran like mad hares as many as were left alive. I thank God that I have come out of it without a scratch. It was hard to see my comrades falling around me; but the others went on until they itook the wood. The old Hun will not fight with us hand to hand; he fires as long as he has good cover; but as soon as we get within reach up go his hands and he yells "Mercy Tommy." hands and he yells "Mercy Tommy." Pte. Dan Rowlands writes—The cigs are reallv too precious to smoke. I suppose holiday makers are too busy getting things 'I ready for the brave boys in the trenches 1 who are day and night facing death with holidays just a haze in the past. Let us hope it will soon be over and that by next season it will only be a nightmare and that everything in my native town will flourish as in the days gone by like the old proverb "the longest lane has an ending," so will this terrible war in the near future. Cheer up all and keep smiling. Gunner M. Edwards writes—The parcel was sent to me when I was in Egypt, but it was sent after me to France, and was none the worse for its journey. We all enjoyed it and wish you and all Aber. people the best of luck. Leading Stoker J. T. Benbow writes— The boys abroad are quite jealous that I should have such generous gifts and wish they belong to Aberystwyth, Driver J. E. James writes Mosqli itos are the only things that trouble us. I sleep in a cart shed with seven others not far from the trenches. There is one Welsh chap here from Stockport. Dwtvclr Ð. Vaughan writes—I was completely run out of cigs so you see what the parcels mean to us. A cig is a good companion when we are on the march. I was sorry to read in the "Cambrian News" of Aber boys who have been killed in the big push. Corporal Robert. W. Ellis writes—I learn from the "Cambrian News" that your son has been wounded and I hope he is well on the road to recovery. I also re- gret to hear of the death in action of Lieut. Oswald Green and Corporal T. H. W. Davies who was formerly a reporter in Aberystwyth. He was shot through the head by a sniper during an attack on j wood on the morning of July 10th. I i shall never forget that and the following day as long as I live. I consider myself extremely fortunate in having come ¡ through it all without a scratch. We are I now in the trenches and what a warm shop it is too. We are bombarded all day long with whizz-bangs and trench mortars I Gunner H. Hammond, who is at Cow- bridge, writes that his wounds are not so serious as he thought at first. His hand and wrist are practically healed; but his finger wound is still troublesome, it might have been a lot woise considering the amount of earth which fell on him. He will never forget July 1st.

t Patriotic Sale. PENPARKE COMFORTS FUND. A patriotic sale arranged by members of the Darllenfa Sewing Circle in aid of their funds was held in the School on Tuesday. There were a number of taste- fully arranged stalls and interesting side- shows. A special feature was a unique collection of antiquities including what is considered the most interesting of all Welsh pre-Reformation relic-the Nant- eos cwpan or the Holy Grail. This cup has been in the possession of the Nanteos family for many generations. In days gene by it was lent to invalids as it was be- lieved to possess healing properties. The collection also included a number of other interesting objects ancient and modern. The exhibition was arranged and explained by Mr. Geo. Eyre Evans, whose two volumes of "The Abervstwvth War Bcok," containing extracts relating to the war from its beginning from newspapers and portraits and prints was also shown. The sale was opened by Dr. Roberts, Penywern, who was accompanied by Mrs Roberts and in doing so Dr. Roberts said ithe soldiers were fighting for our homes and for our liberty and it was our duty to do all we could for them. He thought the Penparke Sewing Circle were acting in a very creditable manner by holding their second sale. The class was organised in October, 1914, and since then the members had worked without a break. They had already made 730 garments for soldiers, one member alone having made seventy-seven shirts and had a parcel ready for Aberystwyth Red Cross Hospital. (Cheers.) He was afraid the war was going to last for some months longer so that it was important that the class should be provided with funds to continue its good work. Dr. and Mrs. Roberts were cordially thanked by Mr. Eyre Evans for their attendance and support. The needlework stall was presided over by Miss R. Jones, Miss A. Jones, Mrs M. Evans, Mrs Seaton; the comforts stall by Miss Powell Evans, Mrs J. Thomas. secretary: oddments stall by Mrs W. S. Jones, president, and Miss Lewis, Craiglea; doll stall, Miss Dorothy Street and Miss Urshula Barnard; flower stall by Mrs. Treborth Jones. Mrs. E.

Locked in Death. HEROIC EFFORT OF ABMR YST VV YTH BOY. Deep sorrow was caused at Griffiths- town, near Pontvpaol, on Tuesday evening of last week when the news became known that two young men—Ernest Coles and William Raymond Berry—had lost their lives while bathing in Cwmlicky Poiad. Coles, who could hardly swim, got into l:œul.L': T- uuiiLuities, ana nerry, being an expert swimmer, endeavoured to save him, but Coles pulled Berry under the water and both were drowned. Berrv was the son of Mr. and Mrs Tom Berry, 23, Windsor-road. Griffithstown, bandmaster of Panteg Battery Band and Griffithstown Band and grandson of the late Sergeant William Berry, Aberystwyth, the Crimean veteran. Coles was a native of Plymouth and had come to Griffithstown to work on the Great Western Railway at Pontypool Road and resided with Mr. Berry. At the inquest, on Wednesday afternoon Miss Louie Berry said the last time she saw the lads alive was on Tuesday after- noon. Thomas Berry, father, said his opinion was that his son lost his life in trying to save his companion. P.S. Arundel dived into the pond and found the bodies locked together ;n about fifteen feet of water. Berry appeared to have been clutched round the neck, as the neck showed dis- colouratiqn. The jury returned a verdict that Ernest Coles lost his life while bathing and Ray- mond Berry in trying to save him.

The sympathy of all is extended to the family in their bereavement. Llwyngwrll Hero. I PRIVATE WILMAM DAVID JONES, I Son of Mr. and Mrs. William Jones, litys Meirion. Llwyngwril. Private Jones, be- fore enlistment in September, was em- ployed in a responsible position at Bramp- ton Brass Works, Birmingham. He joined the 14th Royal Warwick Regiment and became corporal.

He was severely wounded in the battle for Longueval, being shot in the light arm and thigh and wounded with shrapnel in the left thigh. He is now -it a hospital at Sunderland, making a good recovery. The following letter re- ceived by his parents from his officer is eloquent of the young man's spirit: — "I am writing to 'reassure vou with regard to your 30n. W. D. Jones, who was wounded in the attack on Saturday night. Though 1 was not present myself, I hear from the Captain that he (Oiiducted him- self in a most creditable manner and con- tinued fighting even when ho was hit.

Some idea of the extent of the devasta- tion in the villages of Northern France is gained from statistics just issued. In 75, parishes it has been ascertained that 16,669 houses have been completely, and 25,594 partially destroyed. The proportion of farm buildings demolished exceeds fifty per cent. of the total number of buildings destroyed in 299 parishes. Live stock, implements, and seeds have been given to the stricken peasants by British farmers through the medium of the Agricultural Relief of Allies Fund.

ABERAERON. BASS CAPTURE. Bass in large numbers come up with each tide during the hot weather. They like the offal which the fresh water carries along. They burrow with their horizontal leather-rimmed snouts into the soft depo- sits which the water courses form. They glide sideways showing their sil- very flanks; they skim the surface sport- fully; they go in schools or families, furrowing the surface when the water is smooth, and breaking it into wrinkles and eddies. But except for an occasional one caught by hook and line, it is too wary a fish to be trapped. Many an attempt has been made with no success to net them. But on Tuesday. August 1st, Captain Williams, Captain Owen, Mr. James Mor- gan, and others set a net across the river six feet high just opposite Messrs. J. D. Lloyd's yard in so skilful a way as to trap all the bass that had passed upwards. As the tide receded, and the fish found that there was an obstruction between them and the sea they sought by every skilful method for a way of escape. They searched for channels up the river which might lead them out. Failing, they came back to the net. They attempted to jump it, to push through it, and to burrow under it; but not a single one returned to the sea. When the tide left the net they were in shallow water and were hauled in by means of landing nets. The number of fish killed was eighteen weighing about seventy pounds, and they were sold at sixpence a pound. It will be interesting to see if any bass will now enter the river. These fish are extremely crafty. Though not one of them that came up on that sunny morning went back to tell the tale, it is quite possible that they may have communicated the news of the tragedy by some wireless method of their own.

LLANILAR. ACKNOWLEDGMENT.— Mr. and Mrs Hughes, Falcon Hotel, desire to express their heartfelt thanks to all kind friends who sent messages of sympathy in letters and floral tributes during their recent sad bereavement. pllO FUNERAL.—Sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Maesgwyn, in the death of their eldest son, John Dd.

The body of the boy was brought down from London and interment was made on Tuesday, the Rev. Mr. Jones, C.M., officiating at the house and the Rev. J. F. Lloyd at the graveside, and a large number of relatives and friends of the family attending. A children's ohdir conduqjtod bjy Mtr. Wil- liams, Ochor Gader, were present and sang appropriate hymns.

General Owen Thomas. MR HAYDN JONES'S REPLY TO FESTINIOG COUNCIL. At Festiniog Council on Friday night, a letter was read from Mr. Haydn Jones, M.P., with reference to the Council's reso- lutions in regard to Ithel Davies arid to General Owen Thomas. In regard to Ithel Davies, Mr. Haydn Jones pointed out that the statements made in the newspapers had been officially contradicted. As mem- bers of Parliament Shad to base their charges on facts, if the Council were in possession of further evidence in support of the statements, he would lie pleased to receive them with a view to taking further action. With regard to General Owen action. With regard to General Owen Thomas, Mr. Haydn Jones says: "'It will surprise you to learn that no information of what was taking place was sent to the Welsh members, and all they knew was I that public bodies were being asked to pass resolutions of protest. As to the wisdom of such a proceeding, it is not for me to express an opinion, but I think it is grossly unfair to ignore the members on the one hand and then when failure has resulted to round on them for inaction. I will only add that General Owen Thomas desires that the enquiry shall be exclusively confined to his "military efficiency.' From personal knowledge I may tell you that several Welsh M.P.'s urged the retention of General Owen Thomas's services on national and public grounds, and it is absolutely untrue to charge them with neglect of duty."
